Community and Business Groups

Working with Community, Senior Living Facilities & Business Groups

Parkinson Partners LLC (PPLLC) recognizes that one important way to serve people with Parkinson’s Disease (pwps) is to educate their local businesses and community organizations about complexities and common misconceptions of the disease. We do this through training, speaking, consulting, and facilitating PD support groups.

Training

PPLLC provides PD education and training for community groups and businesses, and we train those interested in forming and running Parkinson’s support groups.

Facilitators

PPLLC facilitates and runs PD support groups through individual, business, or facility sponsorship. Your business or facility can sponsor the group, or you can find a sponsor to bring PPLLC to a location you provide to run a PD support group.

Consulting

Speaking

PPLLC provides public presentations on PD for your membership, constituency, clientele, employees, or other select audiences.

Thanks for all the support you have given me this year. It means so much to me to have someone who more than understands PD to learn from.

Thank you so much for speaking to our volunteers yesterday on Parkinson's disease. I personally learned a lot about the disease that I didn't know. The volunteers seemed to appreciate your coming to talk to us. Thank you very much!

In answer to my plea, Katherine Autin spoke with me by phone today. It was so wonderful to have her to help me at a time I feel so lost. Mrs. Autin answered questions and I had a lot. She was so helpful! I've read 2 books and they did not tell me 1/10 of the info I received from her. It was a ray of sunshine to talk with her. You are Very Important.
